Default Happy Birthday, Smokey Joe, now was it 116 or 117?
Posted By: Max Weder

Today would have been Joe Wood's 116th birthday, which is coincidently (perhaps) the number of games he won in his too short career as a pitcher.
(baseballreference.com says he won 117 http://www.baseballreference.com/w/woodjo02.shtml, while http://www.retrosheet.org lists 116

In any case, happy birthday Joe

Max
